Is there an easy way to sort the letters in a string alphabetically in Python?
So for:
a = 'ZENOVW'
I would like to return:
'ENOVWZ'

Use sorted() and str. join() to sort a string alphabetically in Python. Another alternative is to use reduce() method. It applies a join function on the sorted list using the '+' operator.
You can use Nested for loop with if statement to get the sort a list in Python without sort function. This is not the only way to do it, you can use your own logic to get it done.
In Python, there are two ways, sort() and sorted() , to sort lists ( list ) in ascending or descending order. If you want to sort strings ( str ) or tuples ( tuple ), use sorted() .
You can do:
>>> a = 'ZENOVW'
>>> ''.join(sorted(a))
'ENOVWZ'
>>> a = 'ZENOVW'
>>> b = sorted(a)
>>> print b
['E', 'N', 'O', 'V', 'W', 'Z']
sorted returns a list, so you can make it a string again using join:
>>> c = ''.join(b)
which joins the items of b together with an empty string '' in between each item.
>>> print c
'ENOVWZ'
